United A/L placed orders on 8/12 for twenty-five A350s & the same number of B787s. It is also taking out options on a further fifty of each type. These will be used to replace the carrier's B747s & B767s, with deliveries between 2013 & 2106. Good news also for Rolls Royce who have been selected as the engine supplier for the A350s. A decision concerning where it will place its order for a hundred narrow-body aircraft has been deferred until next year.
